What is Displaced Orphans doing in Asia today?

DOI sponsors 16 homes and multiple projects and missionaries in SE Asia. Most of our homes, especially the larger ones have multiple sponsors and their self-sufficiency varies greatly depending on their land, resources and training.

Some of our homes contain children that have horrific stories of losing their family in the middle of the night to Burmese (Myanmar) Militia’s acts of genocide and enslavery. Most of these kids have no papers or documentation and receive no government aid, recognition or services. Schooling has even been an issue for many of these kids.

Some of our children have family inside internment camps. These camps contain up to 50,000 political refugees living in conditions that would make most Americans cry if viewed in person. The definition of human rights in these camps make our American Prisons look like a Ritz Carlton. Many refugees are born and die in these camps and anything we can do to relieve their suffering should be done.

A few of our homes offer a safe refuge for children to go to school and learn about Jesus that can’t do that any other way. Either their home life is terribly screwed up (kids that would be in the ‘system’ here) and / or their family lives so far in the mountains there are no education options for them at home.

DOI regularly funds special projects for our homes and similar works when needed such as:

Funding for missionaries to serve as home leaders and shine the light of Jesus into the lives of children.

Many of our homes have evolved as time has gone on. Things change. DOI’s focus currently is visiting each home at least semi annually and making sure the environment is one that encourages physical and spiritual growth. Our board has had to make some tough decisions, but now we can tell you we believe in all of our current homes and your money is being very well spent!

DOI’s Board of Directors believes in this ministry. Most of us have traveled to Thailand and spent time with some of these wonderful children and incredible home leaders. We have seen that DOI makes a difference in the lives of hundreds of children’s lives daily. You can be a part of this ministry by giving sponsorship, time or both. Need to see it for yourself before you commit? Please contact us and we would like to meet you.

You can make a difference. Get Involved. Sponsor a child or help with a home sponsorship today!

Home Sponsorship Program- How does it work?

DOI has a sponsorship option for both sponsoring a half a home or a whole home. A whole home monthly sponsorship is $350 and a half a home is $175. DOI asks for an annual commitment to this program. If requested with your annual commitment will provide any or all of the following:

A link to your business on the DOI website as a sponsor (subject to approval of your website)

A full color poster-board of the home you are sponsoring with your name on it.

A 20 minute presentation at your business or family gathering explaining what DOI is all about and what difference your sponsorship is making in these children’s lives.

Throughout the year you will be informed of any updates or special needs that arise with the home you sponsor.

All DOI donations and sponsorships are tax deductible.

Most importantly, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are providing a safe environment while keeping kids fed and taught about the Love of Jesus.

How are these amounts figured?Different homes have different sponsorship amounts and of course varying needs. These amounts are being reviewed annually and we expect to make some adjustments. When DOI began this program in 2010 we simply took the amount of our regular monthly support commitment, divided it by our number of homes and used those figures to develop the program. The program will remain unchanged through the spring of 2017 but may be re-evaluated based on needs and giving at that time.
